Abstract: Excerpts from the report: To perform the multitude of services required in marketing domestic farm food products, assemblers, processors, wholesalers, retailers, and away-from-home eating places buy a wide array of goods and services from nonfarm businesses not directly engaged in marketing food products. These intermediate goods and services, which include fuel, power, light, packaging materials, office and restaurant supplies, telephones, car repairs, rents, vitamins, and a host of other such inputs, accounted for about 20 percent of the total bill for marketing farm foods in 1961. This article presents a newly constructed index showing changes in prices of intermediate goods and services purchased by marketing firms during the postwar years.
